Key Factors in Buying Real Estate in Spain

When buying property in Spain, particularly in the northern region and the Basque Country, several important aspects must be considered to ensure a successful investment:

1. Defining the Budget

It is crucial to have a clear idea of your budget. If you do not have the full capital, it may be necessary to apply for a loan. At BARNES San Sebastián, we recommend confirming with your bank the amount you can borrow, including additional costs such as renovations or improvements to the property.

2. Nature of the Real Estate Project

The purpose of your purchase will define your search criteria. Whether you are looking to buy a home in San Sebastián as a primary residence, a holiday home, or an investment property, your needs may differ. For example, proximity to schools is more relevant for a primary residence than for a vacation property.

3. Ideal Location of the Property

One of the most important aspects to consider is location. BARNES San Sebastián will help you choose among luxury properties in Donostia: in the historic center, by the sea, or in exclusive residential areas. You can also decide between a house, an apartment, a charming renovated property, or new construction. The location significantly affects the long-term value of your investment.

4. Customized Search Criteria

From the beginning of your project, it is important to define the specific features you are looking for: number of bedrooms, living area, plot size, orientation, peacefulness, and noise tolerance. If you want to buy a luxury property in San Sebastián, BARNES will ensure that the property selection aligns with your expectations.
